Hindsight is 20/20, but perhaps you could've only sold 5 given your plan to buy back upon the dip that didn't happen...your timing turned out to be unfortunate, since ASTS starting running away around June 6th. Otherwise, you might've sold 15 at a far higher strike, say 50, if that was available at the time. While your premium would've been much less, you would've received $75k upon assignment. That would've eased the sting. But maybe you specifically wanted the big premium to buy those UNH calls. Alternatively, you could've sold the longest term leap then available, probably Jan '27 at that point, at a high strike price, with the extra time boosting the premium back up some amount. Again, ultimately you'd have been paid more upon any assignment. EDIT: since some of these were rolls, then I mean you could've rolled into what I referred to above.

Limit on the upside has a gray area. Sometimes you can roll. When UNH went from like 380 to 310 recently, it allowed me to roll some 300c 12/19 calls out another 6 months. I got to both sell at a higher strike price of 340c and also the roll was cash positive (I think even a 360c was cash positive if just barely). I just had to trade time for money. That said, the roll opportunity was lucky. I only had to trade 6 months of time. Roll opportunities like that are definitely not a guarantee, so your argument stands. But the ability to roll means the limit on the upside can have some gray area.

No one at UNH knows how to do a sudoku

UNH, please commit seppuku to the tune of -25%. Thanks in advance

He said he had 3-4 opportunities to buy them back for a small lost himself but didn't. That's 100% on him for gambling with UNH.

Not just NVDA I sold options this year on NVDA, AMZN, PLTR, INTL, SOFI, ASTS, RKLB, UNH 83% winners, 10% losers, 7% assigned

Not only UNH. And those companies have it coming. That said, they are just next. We are entering an era of executive directed markets. And economists know how that usually ends.

Will Trump fuck up UNH or nothingburger?

What the fuck happened to UNH at 3 p.m.?

The longest CC I've ever done was 3 months. And it was painfull (Unh 250 to 360)
